"Foy is backed up by two fine supporting performances from Jay Pharoah ... and Polly McKie as a steely charge nurse who can ratchet with the best of them."

“The filmmaker's knack for casting is also apparent...including Polly McKie as a nurse who stops just short of going full Ratched”

Polly McKie and Claire Foy

"UNSANE"

"Miss Mathieson isn’t around much, but what Ms. McKie does with her one big scene, a confessional moment of yearning, is heart-stopping."

"McKie is just devastating, though understated, as the 35 year old caretaker...

With straightforward dignity that hides self-loathing, she offers herself as a wife to the elderly doctor..."

Polly McKie and Philip Goodwin

"A Day by the Sea"

"Miss Gluck, played by a hilarious, haunting Polly McKie...not in the best of health, as Williams suggests with a wicked bit of scatological humor, Miss Gluck embodies the fear underlying the other women’s romantic notions and machinations."
